Insulin therapy

**Insulin therapy** is a therapeutic method that is used to treat diabetes mellitus and some other diseases associated with impaired carbohydrate metabolism. This method involves administering insulin daily, which helps regulate blood glucose levels and prevent the development of serious complications.

One of the main reasons for the development of diabetes mellitus is a violation of the body's ability to utilize glucose. This occurs due to various factors such as heredity, obesity, stress, age-related changes and others.

During insulin therapy, the patient receives daily injections of drugs that contain insulin, a pancreatic hormone. Depending on the type of insulin and the schedule of its administration, insulin therapy can be of several types:

- insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type I) - non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type II - combination insulin therapy

Insulin is administered subcutaneously or intravenously as injections or infusions. In this case, special syringes and injection systems are used, which can be supplemented with dispensers, temporary signals, etc. When taking insulin analogues, dehydration should be avoided, but in patients with diabetes mellitus it is often observed due to increased urination and increased sweating. An increased infusion of the solution should be carried out during fasting at night and during the second and third meals during the day, as well as in all cases with delayed diarrhea and profuse sweating. Minor urinary retention allows you to use no more than 7–12 liters of solution to compensate. Method of controlling blood glucose using oral glucose-lowering drugs

In most cases, insulin therapy is prescribed after all other treatments have failed. These include diet, exercise, weight loss, lifestyle changes and adding additional medications.

Insulin therapy is a method of treating endocrine disorders with insulin and insulin preparations. What is this method of combating endocrine disorders? Insulin is a hormone that affects all processes associated with carbohydrate metabolism. But the pancreatic hormone, insulin, is produced in it in response to a drop in blood sugar levels, and in about half an hour after that it passes from the pancreas into the bloodstream. A decrease in blood glucose levels often occurs due to problems with the stomach and intestines, kidneys, liver and other organs, but if the hormone is produced late or in insufficient quantities, this leads to disruption of normal sugar levels (hypoglycemia), or to kidney insensitivity to him. If the cause of hypoglycemia lies in problems with the hypothalamus or pituitary gland, then diabetes mellitus develops. With its first type, insulin is simply absent, which makes insulin therapy the main way to combat it.

Insulin therapy is a method of treating various diseases associated with metabolic and endocrine system disorders. The main goal of insulin therapy is to lower blood sugar levels, which can be caused by various reasons, such as diabetes, impaired pancreatic function or some other diseases.

When prescribing insulin, first of all, the doctor assesses the patient’s condition, conducts a full examination and
